    Modest on the beer front,less so on the wine in a few London bars

    Purity -- Mad Goose (3PT)
    Mauldons -- Blackberry Porter
    Abbeydale -- Deception
    Titanic -- Nautical Mild
    Oakham -- Bishops Farewell


    BOTW goes to Oakham Bishops Farewell a regular and in great nick in The Merchants,still IMHO the best real ale pub in Rugby.


    Next week is going to be large ,annual pilgrimage to The Old Fountain,the Hertford pub crawl and then some footie to top things off.

    A fair selection this week :-



    Marble Pint 3.9%
    WJ King Poachers Moon 4.0%
    Bath Gem 4.1%
    Wychwood Bah Humbug 4.3%
    Harvey's Old Ale 4.3%
    Jenning's Red Breast 4.5%
    Clouded Minds Hazelnut Porter 4.5%
    Portobello Market Porter 4.6%
    Brodie's Old Street IPA 5.0%*
    Dark Star Coconut Porter 5.0%
    Arundel Trident 5.0%
    Clarence & Frederick's Oatmeal Milk Stout 5.0%*
    Bingham Vanilla Stout 5.0%*
    O' Hanlon's Goodwill Bitter 5.0%
    Brentwood Jolly Decent Wallop 5.2%
    Thornbridge Jaipur IPA 5.9%*
    Everard / Devil's Backbone IPA 5.9%*
    Triple fff I Can't Remember Porter 6.0%*
    Harvey's Christmas Ale 7.5%

    Several good ones this week and the contenders have a star beside them. The Dark Star Coconut Porter is not included as I'm not really sure if it works although I found it easy enough to drink. The Bingham Vanilla Stout just gets it. It was £2.45 in the Moon on the Hill at Sutton. Vanilla seems to be a good ingredient for dark beers as ELB Orchid Mild also uses it to great effect.

    A fairly sparse and poor week consisting mainly of boring brown beer.
    Langhams Halfway To Heaven
    Wadsworth 6x
    Theakston's Best Bitter
    Buttcombe Bitter
    Blacksheep Ale

    To be fair the Buttcombe and Blacksheep were in good nick and drinkable for a couple of pints
    the rest were very bland, but the week was saved by my BOTW
    Portobello American Pale Ale a beer with some good flavour.
